After Senators Graham, McCain, Schumer and (Jack) Reed filed a joint statement on the allegations of Russian hacking during the 2016 election, Senator McConnell has rejected a special committee to investigate such claims.

Calling the allegations of Russian meddling “disturbing,” McConnell said the intelligence panel should take the lead, dismissing calls by Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.) and others for a special select committee to review the matter.

He said the Intelligence Committee is “more than capable of conducting a complete review of this matter.”

“We’re going to follow the regular order. It’s an important subject and we intend to review it on a bipartisan basis,” he said.
